Comments for ACE exam answers

The ACE answers would be more helpful with the questionsby: Katie - Admin

These answers for the ace exam would be more useful if we knew what the questions were. Can anybody help fill in the blanks on this submission. If you can write a question that fits these answers (jeopardy style!) we can all practice. And don't worry about it not actually being a question on the ACE exam...it is probably better if you make up the questions yourself because this site will reject any copyright submissions per the submission guidelines.

I bet these are the questions...by: Anonymous

1. Which lever class is typical of most joints of the human body?

2. John is 54 years old and has a RHR of 75 BPM, and his goal is to exercise at 60% of HRR, what is his THR?

3. What is the prime mover in a shoulder extension?

4. What is the sliding filament theory?

5. What are the rotator cuff muscles?

6. What are the PRIMARY movement descriptors, and what plane of movement does each move in?

7. What is the job of the sternocleidomastoid?

8. What is the difference between an open-chain exercise and a closed-chain exercise?

question # 4- is the sliding filament theory- the cross bridging of the muscle proteins during the contraction.

question # 8- refers to the golgi tendons and the muscle spindles- both help the protect muscle fibers from being overstretch- but the difference is that the Golgi tendons has to do with contractile pressure.
